apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
restart
seems to have solved it.
xserver-xorg-input-libinput was installed. No trackpad showed up in system settings.
Perhaps this belongs in hardware instead of desktop.
My trackpad behavior has changed in the last day or so. I am running daedalus and recently updated software. Could someone point me to a resource that will get the trackpad back to its normal behavior? Right now it is jumpy when I am clicking on links and buttons. Also, it no longer allows me to click on an item with one finger and move it with another finger.
Thanks
FWIW, I am running KDE Plasma and it allows scaling by 125%. Under System settings -> Display and monitor -> Display configuration, set global scale.
I got the touch screen working. I did not have to compile my own kernel or use ipts (iptsd).
This page:
https://github.com/linux-surface/linux- … ure-matrix
told me to go here:
https://github.com/quo/ithc-linux
I then copied the repository to my drive ($ git clone https://github.com/quo/ithc-linux) and then ran the make ... commands (with dkms).
I am using daedalus running the debian 5.18.14-1 kernel.
Also, for the record, somewhere along the way from the usb devuan live through installation onto the hard drive to upgrading to daedalus I hit a roadblock and changed line 148 in the file referenced here:
I have installed devuan on a surface pro 7. Most things work. The touch screen does not. I want to get it working. Currently I am running stock daedalus.
It seems that I would need to install a custom kernel that has surface functionality and then install the ipts package. There is a debian-based surface kernel that I can download. Also it seems that ipts is designed to work with systemd.
1) Will a build of a debian kernel be independent of systemd? (In other words, can I just pop in the debian-based kernel someone else has built into my devuan machine, or do I have to compile my own against the devuan framework?)
2) Has anyone put together an implementation of ipts that does not involve systemd?
Thank you for any help. I apologize for the ignorance demonstrated in this post.
